Facts

The pattern of higher rates of current alcohol use, binge alcohol use, and heavy alcohol use among full-time college students compared with rates for others aged 18 to 22 has remained consistent since 2002.

In 2008, an estimated 1.6 million adults aged 18 or older were on parole or other supervised release from prison at some time during the past year. Almost one fifth of these (18.3 percent) were current illicit drug users, which was higher than the rate of 7.8 percent among adults not on parole or supervised release.

In 2008, 37.7 percent of youths aged 12 to 17 with past year MDE received treatment for depression (i.e., saw or talked to a medical doctor or other professional or used prescription medication).

Signs of Morphine Addiction

The signs of morphine addiction include many physical
and emotional changes in the user. Because morphine is highly addictive,
the user builds a tolerance (the need for higher and higher doses to
maintain the same effect) and physical and psychological dependence develops
quickly. Morphine can be taken orally in tablet form, and it can also
be injected subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously; the last
is the route preferred by those who are addicted to morphine. Other signs
of morphine addiction include the paraphernalia used to take the drug.
Morphine users may have needles, tourniquets, morphine tablets, liquid
morphine, or crushed up powder.

Morphine addiction develops very rapidly when an individual continues to abuse
the drug. Morphine's addictive nature activates the brain’s reward
systems. The promise of reward is very intense, causing the individual to
continually crave Morphine and to focus his or her activities around taking
the drug. The ability of Morphine to strongly activate the brain's reward
mechanisms and its ability to chemically alter the normal functioning of
these systems is what produces morphine addiction. One of the many signs
of morphine addiction is that it reduces the user’s level of consciousness,
harming their ability to think or be fully aware of present surroundings.
